Toilet Repair in Nevada
Toilet repair help across 3 Nevada towns, with how many households own their home in each and how much of the housing was built before 1990.
Free to homeowners in Nevada — the contractor pays us for the introduction, you never do.
Short version
Nevada shows 57% owner-occupancy across the 3 towns covered here, with 31% of housing built before 1990. A rented home puts the fixture on the landlord's side of the line whatever its age.

Go straight to the one that sounds like yours:
- A Toilet That Runs: What Is Actually FailingA toilet that runs is one of two parts, and telling them apart takes ten minutes and a bottle of food coloring.
- A Toilet Leaking at the Base
- A Toilet That Rocks or MovesA toilet that moves when you sit on it is destroying its own seal.
- If You Rent, Your Toilet Is Not Your RepairA toilet in a rented home is almost always the landlord’s to fix.
- You are never chargedContractors pay us when we route them a call. There is no cost to the homeowner, ever.
- Every figure names its sourceThe numbers on this site come from public data and the page says which, so you can check them.

- We say when not to callIf the fix is a few minutes of your own time, this site tells you that instead of selling you a visit.
Across the 3 Nevada towns we route calls in, 57% of households own their home and 31% of the housing was built before 1990. The first figure decides who pays for the repair; the second decides what is probably installed.
What this site is
Tank and Bowl is a referral service, not a contractor. We connect homeowners with independent contractors. Contractors are required to hold whatever credential their state or municipality demands. Every state page sets out who licenses plumbers there and where to check, so you can confirm before work begins. We carry out no work, we sell no fixtures, we do not set prices, and we never charge homeowners anything — the contractors in our network pay us when we route them a call.The two figures, for Nevada as a whole
| Nevada | Share | Homes |
|---|---|---|
| Owner-occupied | 57% | 464,811 |
| Rented | 43% | 356,868 |
Weighted across 821,679 occupied homes. Separately, 31% of the state’s 904,183 housing units — a wider universe, because it includes vacant ones — were built before 1990, which is before the Energy Policy Act of 1992 set a 1.6 gallon flush maximum.

Nevada does not divide evenly
A state average hides the thing that matters. Of the 3 towns we route in here, 0 are mostly pre-1990 housing and 3 are mostly post-1990 housing; on tenure, 0 are strongly owner-occupied and 1 are renter-heavy.
The two are close to independent of each other, so an old town is not reliably an owning town or a renting one. That is why every town page below carries its own pair of figures rather than inheriting these.
The largest towns we route in Nevada
| Town | Owner-occupied | Built before 1990 | Occupied homes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Las Vegas | 54% | 36% | 603,995 |
| Henderson | 65% | 17% | 132,565 |
| North Las Vegas | 63% | 19% | 85,119 |
What goes wrong, wherever you are in Nevada
The fault list does not vary by state. A running tank is the flapper or the fill valve, and EPA publishes a ten-minute test that tells them apart. Water at the base is four different faults, one of which is condensation and not a leak at all. A fixture that rocks is the one that causes the seal failure you will meet later.
What varies by town is who fixes it. In a rented home the toilet is normally the landlord’s repair, and in the towns above that is a large share of households.
Checking a plumber in Nevada
Nevada licenses are issued by the Nevada State Contractors Board, which publishes a public search you can use before work begins. Nevada licenses the C-1 plumbing and heating contractor classification rather than an individual journeyman.
